The present paper looks into the vocational education of India and China in a comparative perspective. India and China are two of world's fastest developing economies. Vocational education is an important part of any country's educational system. In the context of economic development of a nation, proper implementation of vocational education becomes all the more important. China has an expansive and diversified vocational education which has played significant role in its developing economy. India too is placing emphasis on vocational aspect of its education which is quite evident from 11th and 12th five-year plans also. This paper tries to look into various aspects of vocational education of the two countries. The focus is on the structure, need, problems and achievements of vocational education in both countries. The comparative study of the two countries in respect of their vocational education is especially significant in terms of the lessons that can be drawn from the China's comparatively successful VET system for India.
